Advantage Highlanders as Dynamos Players Down Tools Ahead of Blockbuster Clash
The blue half of the capital is in turmoil just days before the country’s biggest football showdown. Dynamos players have gone on strike, demanding their long overdue winning bonuses, a development that has thrown the club’s camp into complete disarray and handed rivals Highlanders an unexpected psychological edge.
According to inside sources, tensions have been simmering for weeks as players grew increasingly frustrated over unpaid allowances and bonuses dating back nearly two months. Ironically, reports suggest that the funds had already been made available, but never reached the players, sparking outrage in the dressing room.
This morning, instead of their usual pre match drills, the Glamour Boys staged a sit-in at their training ground, refusing to take to the pitch. One insider revealed that players are currently seated on the turf, waiting for a member of the executive who promised to “take action” by 1:30 PM.
“The boys are fed up. They’ve been patient for too long. How can you expect them to deliver results when their dues are not being honoured?” said a team source.
The timing couldn’t be worse for Dynamos. With just 48 hours before their high-stakes clash against Highlanders at Rufaro Stadium, morale in the camp has plummeted, while Bosso fans are already celebrating what could be a huge advantage for their side.
Club officials have remained tight lipped, but the silence only fuels speculation that administrative disunity continues to haunt the Harare giants.
As the clock ticks towards kickoff, all eyes are now on the Dynamos boardroom, will the “Glamour Boys” resolve the standoff in time, or will Bosso march into Rufaro with momentum already in their favour?
One thing’s for sure: the drama has started long before the whistle blows.
